2012012 Stress-free Stress-free Your vehicle is like any piece of equipment or machinery; look after it properly and it will generally repay the favour. And, like any mechanical device, it’s most likely to fail when conditions are the hardest. T he Motor Trade Association (MTA) says there is plenty you can do though to reduce the chances of problems occurring with your vehicle. There are two common scenarios that generally lead to problems with your vehicle; extremes of heat and frequent stop start driving in a queue. Often, these two conditions overlap – lots of people all trying to get to their favourite spot at roughly the same time, leading to long, frustrating and, in the case of your vehicle, mechanically stressful periods.

So, when you head out on your great Kiwi road trip this summer, make sure that your car is ready for warmer temperatures. Some simple steps can help save you time, money and headaches during your trip: Consider a pre-trip inspection by an MTA technician; repairs can be more costly on the road. Ask them to check things like the air conditioning, cooling system, drive belts, hoses and clamps, brakes, along with fundamentals like fl uids, oil and water. Check the condition and air pressure in all tyres, including the spare, to make sure they are roadworthy. Remember, heat is a tyre’s biggest enemy. Replace ragged wiper blades, and make sure the wash reservoir tank is full and you’ve added proper cleaning agents – not dishwashing liquid. Make sure your sun visors are doing the job; glare from the sun either directly or from other vehicles can blind you temporarily. ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ jumper cables a jack and wheel-brace torch water for both the radiator and yourself (around 2 Litres) ✓ ✓ 1 2 blanket and towel emergency refl ectors.
